Long story short it looks like Sir Michael Bishop will be selling his stake in BMI to Lufthansa, which means they’ll basically have full control. Yadda yadda yadda. If you want details on the business end of the deal, check out the Financial Times article.
More important to me is what this potentially means for those [...]

I saw a link to this posted on FlyerTalk, and I laughed my rear off, so I’m sure at least one other person will be amused. This video perfectly captures how most of us feel when calling the airlines for award tickets, especially the end of it.

Yes, that’s right, I said it! I’m sure many (if not most) of my readers measure their wealth not only in $$$, but also in terms of miles. Heck, many of us are willing to cash in quite a bit of $$$ for miles, so it only makes sense.
But when do we take our mileage [...]

My friend Ryan recently redeemed DL miles for an F award on SQ, without a doubt one of the best redemptions using DL miles. Since many people seem to be interested in such an award, he graciously offered to share his experiences:
I’ve had around 100k DL miles sitting around for a few years with no [...]

Cranky has a great post today outlining United’s plan for Ted reconfigurations. It seems like Ted’s death won’t be quite as drawn out and painful as I anticipated.
Apparently they’ll start reconfiguring in March of next year, and will be done by the end of 2009. For some reason I think that schedule is a bit [...]

The most pathetic part is without a doubt the wisdom of United spokesman Jeff Kovick:

I’m trying to help finalize the details for the trip my brother and mom are taking to Egypt next month, and right now we’re trying to book the intra-Egypt flights. They’re looking at booking CAI-LXR roundtrip and CAI-SSH roundtrip. For two people this comes out to around $750 total for all four flights on the [...]
